Yep, just a quick post to say YAY I made it to 40 years old!

Today is my birthday and when I'm not at work (cuz i totally forgot to request the day off before it was too late) I'm gonna just be lazy for the day and play me some TIME STRANGER WOOOOO

Yeah! What the title says! I'm thankful for a lot, including you guys!

Okay enough with the sap, hehe, just popping in to again let everyone know I am alive and working my way through everything owed, and making progress!

You are still totally allowed to message me if you want updates, but if I don't answer I swear its not because I'm ignoring you, I'm just an easily distracted air head. A lot of times I do that thing where I think about my response in my head, or plan to respond after work and then any amount of time passes (like 5 minutes) aaaaaaand it's gone. So I'm really sorry if that happens, I know its not exactly professional but I am trying! If I don't respond within a couple days please feel free to poke me again. ...Or throw something at me. XD

In other news, thanks to everyone's support my finances are finally starting to even out to the point that I'm not panicking about making the bills every month, so seriously, thank you all!

But my birthday is coming up next week and its my big 4-0, so what little begging I'm going to do will just be for a little extra money to spoil myself a little. Like I'd really love to be able to buy Time Stranger cuz it looks SO GOOD, and I'd love to relax with some good new digimon content. So in that vein I'm still taking $30 custom digimon! I'll probably be closing those off soon (by the end of the year) so if you've been holding off you might wanna hop on them meow!

Hey all!

Again apologies that I've slowed down a bit, but the last couple weeks have really kicked my ass in many ways. The most fun way being so broke I can't afford to get my Prozac prescription renewed. So of course I'm going through withdrawals and fighting off the damn depression. Which with being in the negative in the bank and needing to pull rent out of my ass again my mood is suffering.

BUT I have sunday and monday off and plan to bust my ass for you guys, since I desperately need to be able to beg for more money (again) but I need to be getting stuff done first so please be patient with me, I am trying!

If you are interested in helping out, I'm still doing the cheap $30 custom digimon, AND the heavily discounted digimon character sheets, so please if you're interested just let me know!

And of course if you just want to see progress on something youve been waiting on, by all means holler at me and I can get you an update, as I totally understand the worry around a long wait time.

But around all of that, I love you guys and hope everyone has a fun halloween!

Hey all!

Sorry the updating has been a little slow and spotty, but getting used to the new job and reorganizing my entire schedule has been....tiring. XD

That being said I like my job, which is a plus, but its still a pretty big pay-cut from what I've been doing the last 6 years, so of course I'm still floundering a bit still financially. Also yanno, digging myself out of the unemployed hole I've spent the last couple months in. So while I'm closing off commissions until I get caught up on what I owe, I am still doing digimon via my Ko-fi!

So yeah again I'm sorry some of y'all have been waiting a while, but I promise I'm working on stuff! Just really trying to not let myself get overwhelmed but I'm still in high spirits thanks to all you lovely folks! Seriously you all have been the only reason I've made it the last few months.

That being said of course I'm still begging for money (=_=;;) so if you have as little as $2 to spare, consider maybe chucking it at a needy Kaiju! Or of course, if you're after your own custom digimon, I'm still doing them!!! Just donate $30 or more and in the message let me know what you'd like!

I think thats all for now, back to the draws, and thank you all again!

So I finally got a job! YAAAY! But of course I don't start until next week and probably won't get my first paycheck for at least a couple weeks, and I still need a LOT for rent, soooo if you've been thinking about commissioning me, DO IT PLZ! XD

Or you can check out my Ko-fi page! I have cheap adopts up in the shop, a multi tier membership with lots of perks (including early looks/first dibs on adopts, even getting to help me pick future adopts) or you can donate as little as $2 and I'll still be super appreciative. !

--> https://ko-fi.com/kaijucryptid <--

As for adopts, I'd like to start at least giving people an idea of what's coming up after things have been voted on by my Ko-fi members. Hopefully these guys will be posted within the next week if I can keep up the steam! Also these don't include Egg Adopts, those are their own thing.

Adopts Coming Soon;
Female Deadly Nadder
Exveemon
Weregarurumon (Black)
Monster (kind of werewolf variety)
Garurumon (Special Variant)

Remember, my monthly subscribers Champion and Ultimate tiers get to see and bid on new adopts 24 hours before I post them here!

As always, thanks everyone I appreciate you all!

Just got word that someone is reaching out to people on Discord about the YCH bids! I will never reach out to customers about ending an auction early or getting payment through discord unless we are already friends and have discussed doing that! Please be aware someone is trying to get money from people in my name, therefore taking the money I literally DESPERATELY need right now!

I know, some people just suck. I say just let them know what you really think/feel about people like them if they reach out to you! They also don't have a user name even close to mine. My user name on everything is pretty recognizable, so if you think someone might not be me cuz of the name, you're probably right!

ALSO!

Please check out my Ko-fi and consider either donating as little as $2, or help me out and get cool stuff by becoming a monthly member! Members get to help pick new adopts, get first dibs on adopts, and a bunch of other stuff! I've even been thinking about adding a Discord Server just for my followers! <3

Yooo! Gotta start off again by just thanking everyone for their kind words and well wishes on that last journal, I was at a very low point. I'm still heckin stressed, but I am trying my best!

I need to especially thank those that have been able to either donate to my Ko-fi or buy a comm or adopt! I know times are rough for everyone currently and I super appreciate whatever people are able to help with!

That being said, I'm still desperate for money (car payment has gone late cuz I'm still about $300 short) so I just wanted to make sure people are aware that I AM OPEN AND TAKING COMMISSIONS! ALL OF THE COMMISSIONS!!! SERIOUSLY NOTE ME IF YOU WANT DRAWINGZZZ!!!

Also there is still a bunch of adopts that have barely been sniffed!

Or of course there's my Ko-fi, or I even accept tips through FA here if you're only able to donate a little!

I am applying for jobs everyday, and of course not hearing anything but I am still trying, mostly so I can finally stop begging people for money. I HATE having to beg but thats where I am right now.

ANYWAY thanks again for the reading and I love all you guys!! Anything helps at this moment, even faves and kind words have been doing a lot for me so please don't think that goes unnoticed!



EDIT!!! I also just joined Instagram!!! I hate social media sites but I'd love to get more eyeballs so I'm gonna give it a shot! Follow me @ kaiju_cryptid ! Ditto for Bluesky!!! (I actually like bsky better XD)

Yep, got screwed over by that last job I thought I had in the bag, which of course really messed with my mental stability, along with the fact that even though everything has Now Hiring signs, no one is actually hiring!?

So all money I get is coming from whatever I can get for comms, adopts and donations if I'm lucky.

I'm sorry I've slowed down a little (this week has been really rough) I'm trying to kick it back into gear, but I did want to let anyone who actually reads these know kinda whats going on.

And of course I have a $600 car payment in a week that at this point I'm not even close to making, not to mention the fact that I haven't been able to afford groceries or necesseties, so my animals are also running out of food now. If you'd like to help with that, check out my Ko-fi, even just a $5 donation would help.

https://ko-fi.com/kaijucryptid

I guess thats all. I'm still taking commissions as thats basically my only income right now, so PLEASE note me if you want any art.

Thanks for reading. <3

Hey all!

Firstly thanks to everyone who's been able to help out so far, y'all are the reason I'm over halfway to making my rent this month!

I had an interview today, I think it went well and hopefully will hear back from them sometime this week, but that means it'll still be a while until I have a paycheck, so I'm still fully open for commissions, and I'll be posting more adopts (if you have a request by all means let me know!).

I added a folder that has all of my still available adopts, to make them a bit easier to find for people who decide to look. As of now the Greymon BlueX hasn't been touched, and all but one of the dilophosaurus adopts are still available as well!

Also if you would like to help but can't afford much, even some signal boosting would help! Or you can check out my Ko-fi! OR even donate me a shiny or two here on FA!

Okay I'm done begging for money for now, and again thank you all so much for the help!

Yep, so I am officially laid off, and of course I don't qualify for unemployment. I've been putting in applications and throwing my resume around for the last couple weeks, still haven't heard anything back from any of them yet, of course.

SO if you noticed the adopts have sped up, and they'll keep on coming while I work on commissions and other stuff, but I'm hurting for money of any kind.

I have another 5 slots for commissions open at the moment, plus please PLEASE check out my Ko-fi!

https://ko-fi.com/kaijucryptid

Monthly memberships have oodles of pluses, but if you can't manage that, even a one time donation would be super helpful at the moment! I literally just need to make rent money. I'm not even caring about groceries or anything else, I just have to make sure I don't lose my place this next month or I'm super screwed! No pressure but I do need whatever help I can get at the moment!

As always, thanks just for reading and watching, I love you all!

Yep, basically what the title says!

So if you are able and would like to support me, even with just a one time donation, check it out!

https://ko-fi.com/kaijucryptid

Also of course there are options for monthly memberships which come with extra goodies, like I've got a poll up currently for members only to help decide the next couple of adopts!

My current goal is very simple, just any extra money I can get through donations will go directly into my grocery money, which feeds myself and my animals, and we all appreciate that!

Of course commissions are still very much OPEN, and as always feel free to message me with any questions!

Thanks guys stay cool! (Seriously I hate summer)

Just a quick update for everyone!

First and foremost; GO SEE JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH OMG

Ahem. Also the HTTYD remake was way better than I expected, which made me happy. ANYWAY.

So, after another week of being called off from my full time day job with no option to get any damn hours or use any kind of PTO, I've started the job hunt again. Things arent super dire, but this month is going to be super tight again. In response I am definitely cranking away on the arts, and expect to see more eggs and premade adopts going up just because theyre easy and fun for me, and usually pretty good for a quick bump to money and fairly quick turn around.

I also did set up a ko-fi again finally, but its been years and I'd love any suggestions or feedback on how best to utilize it. Like, for example, I used to do sketches (usually pretty nsfw and of popular/recognizable characters) and have an amount as a goal so people can donate as much or as little as they want to help, then once the goal is reached I'd finish the pic and do full color pretty fancy and such. But then I've also seen people who do things like, if you donate so much at once you get an adopt or a commission for that amount. I'm a little undecided and would love to hear what and how people would rather spend their money if they choose to do the ko-fi thing.

Also commissions are still open, the turnaround is a little longer than the other adopts and such, but I am working consistently on them and I am still taking them because I super need the money, as I said. SO, if you are interested in a commission, definitely message me!

As always though I appreciate you guys so much, whether you can spare money or not, just the faves and comments (i love comments, even if i forget to respond XD) make bad days so much better, and thanks in advance to anyone who has thoughts to share!

Yep, like the title says, I pulled an oopsie somewhere along the lines, but whats even worse is my day job has had an issue with some of our machinery, so I literally haven't been able to work. My next paycheck that I rely on for my mid month bills is going to be waaaay less than I need it to be.

So, even though my pride is killing me, this is me begging for help!

I have 3 egg adopts still ready for the taking, that sexy Ashgreymon I just put up, and commissions are still open!

I am diligently working through what I already owe, one of the good things about not being able to go into my day job.

So with that in mind I'm opening 4 more commission slots! You can see my commission prices listed under the commissions tab on my gallery, or of course just note me if you have any questions.

If you read this far thanks for your time!

Hey all! Its taken me a little longer to settle into, basically, an entirely new life. But after the move itself and now a month of adjusting, I think its going well!

And now that FA is back up and running (yay!) I'm really trying to get back into arting as much as I can without over-stressing myself. Keep y'alls eyes pealed, as I have some new full adopts I will be posting hopefully soon. They are a little more spendy but they're also full reference sheets and have AutoBuy bonuses and such which I hope makes them worth it! Just to give you an idea, currently I'm sticking with digimon I've always wanted to draw, so the first is a big beefy Triceramon boyo!

Again I'll try to keep everyone updated and be more active, I'd love to finish the egg adopts I'm currently working on and be able to throw up another set, since they are always fun for me and people seem to love them since they sell so quick.

Any questions or whatever feel free to comment here or note me, thanks all and stay awesome!

Yep pretty much what the title says, I do yet live!

I don't want to get too much into the nitty gritty, but life has been...interesting over the last few years. Things (mostly my mental health) are finally evening out, and I have some big life changes I'm working on, hopefully for the better! The main one being moving to a totally different state and finally living alone. It's exciting and terrifying. XD

I'm going to try to be a LOT more active here, commissions are still open I'm just on a little bit of a delay at the moment, but work is getting done. Honestly for the first time in a long time I've been enjoying being creative and been having fun working on stuff, so I want to keep that going for sure.

And on that note, I have another batch of $25 egg adopts I'll be posting tonight, and they go on a first come first serve basis. :3

Heya all! Been dealing with some life stuff and realized I kinda went quiet there for a bit longer than I meant too, but don't worry I am in fact still around! Between being crazy busy at my full time job and working slowly but surely toward some lorg life changes, I got a little distracted there for a few weeks.

No worries though I'm getting into a new routine and getting my free time schedule (meaning the time im not at work) figured out, and hopefully by this weekend I should have at least a few things to post!

<3!

Aww yeee opening up some more commission slots to anyone interested!

Just shoot me a note to claim a spot, prices and examples under the Commissions tab, and if you don't see what you want in there or have any other questions, feel free to just ask, I swear I am nice kaiju! :D

COMMISSION SLOTS

1.  phenic
2.  bantamcrow
3.  bantamcrow


I might go up to 5 comm slots once I finish working through my backlog and the first round of eggy adopts, just depends on how interested people are.

Speaking of which I was thinking if eggs don't sell from a specific set, I will either just add the eggs to the next round of eggies until they're sold, OR I can use them to make some random cheaper adopts. Not sure yet but we'll see!!

Hello all!

Just a quick update cuz I'm excited about this idea and hope ya'll like it as much as I do, but first off I wanna say this has no effect on the commissions currently in progress, which will all be done soon so more of those slots will open up. Heck I might even do more than 3 slots next time if there's enough interest.

BUT the real fun stuff, is I'm going to be trying out these fun egg adopts I've been testing out with my friends. I make some cute eggs with pretty colors and patterns, then ya'll get to buy an eggy on a first come first serve basis. Once you have the egg you want and its been verified (gotta make sure people don't fight over them) you will fill out a nice handy little form, then I whip up a cute cheap character for you based on your decisions.

The form will be as follows:

Species: (Can be literally anything, as long as I can google it)
Gender: (Can be NB or whatever you like, but these drawings are all SFW so no genitalia)
Type: (Feral, Anthro or Monster)
Keyword: (Optional)

The best part? These are meant to be super quick, easy and cheap! I'll be selling them for only $25 each, but because of how cheap and quick and yadda yadda, its like a blind box type thing. So options to change anything once I draw them out so if you want to be specific, try to do so with the form you need to fill out. But of course if you really don't like what you end up with, you're more than welcome to resell it as long as credit for the design is still credited to me. :D

Of course any questions please ask, and I'm posting the examples of what I've already done so people can get a feel for the quality and kind of stuff you might be able to expect!

Until next time, when this round of comms is done! <3

YEP THAT'S RIGHT!!! Finally taking at least a couple comms, because its THAT time of year again! Yay holidays! But because of that I'm not expecting my commission slots to fill up that fast, I get it you guys!

My commission prices are listed with examples on my Commissions page, and of course feel free to note me if you have any questions, or to claim a commission spot!

COMMISSION SLOTS
1.  bantamcrow
2.  bantamcrow
3.  dastiger

More slots will open up once these are done, keep an eye on the journals!


More than that I wanted to of course apologize since I'm an anxious person, I did kinda drop off a little there. I just ask y'all have a little patience with me, like most people I'm working through some stuff, this summer was um, intense. I just wanted to reassure that if I go quiet suddenly I will be back, don't ya worry!

There are more adopts coming, and I realized it doesn't have to be Halloween season for me to draw spoopy themed stuff!

Also with adopts do people want me to keep up with the Digimon stuff I've been doing? Or would peeps be interested if I gave dinosaurs or random mythological creatures a shot? Someone suggested a dragon/werewolf hybrid and ngl, that would be fun and I've been thinking about it a lot. XD I'm just curious since I know a lot of people watch me for the Digimon, which I don't mind at all.

Hey all!

Thought I'd see what everyone might like to see from me as I try to keep myself motivated (dont worry I'm having more and more fun as I work at stuff) and since I want to be able to toss out some easier and cheaper adopts, I'd like to see some suggestions of what ya'll might be interested in buying or maybe what you think might sell better as its fun seeing other peoples opinions. :D

If we could keep it to one or two suggestions per person that would rock, and don't worry I'll probably be doing this again and more often as I figure out prices and how I want to do things.

As always I'm open to whatever suggestions, and commissions should hopefully be opening up soon, and when they do I'll have to do slots but again, we'll see how things go and what I feel like when it gets to that point.

<3

Hi all and welcome!

After many years and many good reasons, I've decided to leave behind my old account and therefore a lot of things from my past I never felt like I could wriggle away from. This is my attempt at new and fresh...things. As such I won't be re-uploading things from my old account, but I will leave the art there since people still seem to like looking at it.

I just ask for patience as I get my life readjusted, and start working towards the way I want things to be. Including being exponentially more productive art wise.

Stay tuned for incoming adopts and other scribbs as I get my creativity back in working order after the last few years of ...crap in my personal life.
